A member asked:

My friend found little black dots on the back of his arm and back. they are the size of a freckle and raised. he says they itch a little.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seborrheic keratosis: If they are raised, they are likely skin tags or something called seborrheic keratosis (sk). Sks usually turn up due to aging and they are benign. They can itch, but its not a common symptom. Its always a good idea to get checked out by a dermatologist.
